Chapter 1007 - She’s My Wife (1/2)
Huo Xiao did not speak.
When Ling Sheng reached the door, she turned around again and asked, “Grandpa, are you really not coming?”
Huo Xiao twisted his face away and said firmly, “No!”
Ling Sheng let out a low cough and closed the door after she reached the entrance. Then, she opened the door again and stuck her head in. She watched as her grandpa shot to his feet, only to sit back down nervously when he saw her open the door. She sighed. “Grandpa, there are so many old men in the district who no longer have wives. Grandma is so pretty, elegant, intellectual, and charming. Even men with wives can’t take their eyes off Grandma, let alone those who have already lost their spouses.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Xiao rapidly stood up and walked out aggressively while leaning on his walking stick.
“Grandpa, slow down. Wait for me.” Ling Sheng finally could not help but laugh out loud. Upon seeing Grandpa look like he was about to go fight with someone, she chased after him hurriedly. She was also being very annoying. “Didn’t you say you aren’t coming?”
Huo Xiao tried to retain his dignity. “Am I going to see her? I’m going to see Xiaoqi. The child is still so young that he shouldn’t be led astray by her.”
Ling Sheng thought, You’re just being stubborn. When she accompanied Grandpa over, she saw from afar that Grandma was performing a demonstration on the large square. She was dancing with a very energetic old man. She stole a look at her grandpa beside her and realized that his face had darkened even more. His gaze was like a knife, shooting daggers at that old man who was dancing together with Grandma.
Xiaoqi was playing with electric toy cars with the other children. He caught sight of them immediately and rushed over with the remote control. “Mommy, Great-grandpa!”
Ling Sheng bent down to pick her son up and gave him a big kiss. “Did you miss Mommy?”
Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly. “Yes.”
Su Xiyin had also seen them arrive by now. She even gave Huo Xiao a strange look. Why is he here? Isn’t he reluctant to watch her dance?
Ling Sheng ran over with Xiaoqi in her arms. “Grandma, who’s in charge? I want to sign up too.”
An auntie from the side came over and smiled at her. “It’s a dance competition for the retired elderly. Why are you young people joining in the fun? You don’t qualify so you can’t register.”
“Auntie Chen, I’m not the one registering. I’m signing up for someone else.” Ling Sheng grinned as she turned around to drag her grandpa over. “I’m signing up for my grandpa. Does he qualify?”
Auntie Chen took a look at Huo Xiao’s walking stick and asked in a low voice, “Can your grandpa dance?”
She recognized the man in front of her. He was Teacher Su’s husband, but she wasn’t familiar with him. She hadn’t seen him often. Perhaps it was because his legs were weak, but she only occasionally bumped into him when she was taking a walk after dinner. She would also meet him coincidentally when she went to the kindergarten to fetch her grandson.
Huo Xiao let out a low cough with a cold face. He did not look at Su Xiyin nor speak. He was using his body and expression to express his anger.
Su Xiyin sighed helplessly and glared at him. Could he have gotten jealous again and started spouting nonsense in front of Sheng Sheng? He was already so old, so why was he getting more childish as he got older?
Ling Sheng patted her chest and promised. “Yes, my grandpa’s dancing skills are amazing. He can dance anything. He’s even better than my grandma. He can even be your teacher. He taught my grandma how to dance. If you don’t believe me, ask my grandma.”
Su Xiyin acknowledged, “Yes.”
